Ghanim Al-Otaibi, the official representative for the Kuwait National Petroleum Company, reported that a small fire broke out in one of the lines at the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery.
At the Mina al-Ahmadi oil refinery in Kuwait, firefighters extinguished a fire in one of the bitumen production unit’s lines.
According to a company statement, Al-Otaibi said, “The fire is being handled in accordance with the company’s procedures, and we will provide additional information when it becomes available.”
Due to a lack of cooling water, the National Petroleum Company in Kuwait halted some units of the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery in an emergency shutdown last October.
